Samsung S8500 Wave Ships with Virus
If you suspected your new phone would definitely be virus free, think again. The Samsung S8500 Wave ships with a virus on the MicroSD card. Utilizing the famous Autorun.ini trick, when the card is inserted into a Windows PC it will automatically infect the machine.
The infection will then continue to spread via any USB drive or memory stick used in that computer. Now is a good reminder to be sure you have an up-to-date antivirus on your Windows PC.
